An easy lazy length of limb, Dark eyes and features from the south, A short-legged meditative pipe Set in a supercilious mouth: Ink and a pen and papers laid Down on a table for the night, Beside a semi-dozing man Who wakes to go to bed by light. A pair of brothers brotherly, Unlike and yet how much the same In heart and high-toned intellect, In face and bearing, hope and aim: Friends of the selfsame treasured friends And of one home the dear delight, Beloved of many a loving heart And cherished both in mine, good night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FIFTH AVENUE-SPRING AFTERNOON by LOUIS UNTERMEYER STANZAS IN MEMORY OF THE AUTHOR OF OBERMANN by MATTHEW ARNOLD ROUGE BOUQUET [MARCH 7, 1918] by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER SONG FOR ALL SEAS, ALL SHIPS by WALT WHITMAN A WESTERN WASTE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE THE VANISHED MOUNTAINS by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE SONNET TO A LADY ON THE DEATH OF MRS. --. by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
